Come on, Dr. Wu

Chapter 257 Witnessing the Top of the World
Wu Mingjie knew that Wu Xiaofu didn't like those official dinners, so this dinner was also very simple. They just had a meal and talked about the county hospital's affairs, mainly for them to introduce the situation to Wu Xiaofu.

Wu Xiaofu felt relieved when he learned that the hardware of Jinhu County Hospital could basically meet his daily medical consultations and surgical needs.

After dinner, Wu Mingjie left. He had just taken office and it was the busiest time. Wu Xiaofu did not let him stay any longer and asked Fei Jinpeng to take them to their accommodation.

It is in the county guesthouse, not far from Jinhu County Hospital. They can live here in the future. If they are not used to it, they can rent a house on their own. The hospital will give them subsidies. Wu Xiaofu and the others don't have to think about anything else. They can just live in the guesthouse for the time being. There are also people to help with cleaning.

In fact, riding in a car is very tiring. After a good night's sleep, everyone's biological clock automatically started the next day. After waking up, they walked towards Jinhu County Hospital together.

They still feel a little fresh after changing to a new environment.

It was past seven o'clock and the sky was already bright. When we arrived at the hospital entrance, we were satisfied with the relatively clean and grand county hospital. At least the scale was enough for them to display their talents.

It's no wonder they think this way. In the past, colleagues from the hospital went to the countryside and also went outside. There were few computers in the departments and not enough office space. Instead, the wards were empty, which was distressing to see.

Moreover, the hospital hasn't even opened yet, but people can be seen walking around, which shows that the number of patients in the hospital is still considerable.

Before Wu Xiaofu and the others entered the hospital gate, someone had already come to greet them.

It was Liu Jiang, the chief of the medical department of the county hospital. He also followed along during yesterday's meal. Fei Jinpeng said that Liu Jiang would lead everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment today.

"Doctor Wu, doctors, I will take you to the departments first. In the morning, the hospital has prepared a welcome ceremony for you in the conference room. It will start at ten o'clock. By the way, let's add each other's contact information first. I will create a group. If you have any questions later, you can find me directly in the group. I am always available."

Liu Jiang's attitude was very good, so Wu Xiaofu and the others naturally gave him face, nodded, and cooperated with Liu Jiang to move forward.

Liu Jiang took Wu Xiaofu and Fan Xin to the hepatobiliary surgery department, while other colleagues from the medical department arranged for the other six doctors to go to various departments.

The work has been arranged. As for what needs to be done specifically, Wu Xiaofu also discussed it with several doctors yesterday. They are advised to treat patients well, train the doctors here, and pass on new technologies.

As for the power of the department, they don't need to say much. Even the department director will be sensible and serve them. Technology is king. They don't plan to work here for a long time. It is obvious that they are here to increase the income of the department and will leave when the term expires. They pose no threat to the department director. These department directors will be crazy to embarrass them and give them a hard time.

Arriving at the hepatobiliary surgery department, Wu Xiaofu nodded. This hospital was indeed newly built and the environment was really good. Fei Jinpeng did not fool Wu Xiaofu yesterday. There were actually quite a few patients admitted to the department.

When Wu Xiaofu entered the medical office at 7:30, he found that most of the doctors in the office should have arrived. After all, there were eleven doctors in front of him, which was almost the maximum number of doctors in a department of a county hospital.

When these doctors saw Liu Jiang and Wu Xiaofu appear, their eyes lit up, and the one leading them even took a step forward to greet them.

"Doctor Wu, welcome, welcome. I'm Dou Zhiming."

Dou Zhiming!
Looking at the straight-backed, slightly bald middle-aged doctor in front of him, Wu Xiaofu recalled Fei Jinpeng's introduction of him yesterday: 52 years old, a local, chief physician, who had worked in HA City Hospital after graduating from Xuzhou Medical University and was later recruited by the County Hospital.

He has been working in the county hospital for 20 years now. When he was in the general surgery department, Dou Zhiming was the deputy director of the department, in charge of the general surgery department. Now that the departments are separated, Dou Zhiming took the initiative to ask to come to the hepatobiliary surgery department.

Although Dou Zhiming did not have a high level of education, he had solid skills. He had no problems with first, second, and third level appendectomy surgeries, gallbladder surgeries, liver surgeries, thyroid and breast surgeries, and gastrointestinal surgeries. Even some of his techniques still followed old traditions, but there were rarely any accidents during the surgeries. He was considered the mainstay of the county hospital's surgery department.

Dou Zhiming had the opportunity to go to a bigger place, but in the face of some recruitment, he did not leave and stayed in the county hospital.

Naturally, the hospital will not mistreat such a talent. Now that the departments are separated, Dou Zhiming has become the director of the hepatobiliary surgery department.

"Director Dou, I heard Dean Fei talk about you yesterday. He said you have good skills, are steady, and have a good personality. I will be staying in the department for two months, so I'll need your care in the future."

Hearing Wu Xiaofu say this, Dou Zhiming also laughed.

"Doctor Wu, you are joking. To be honest, I was so excited when I knew you were coming that I couldn't sleep well for several days. Even though I am over 50 years old, I still want to continue to improve my skills. I also want to perform some truly major surgeries in our hospital, and this opportunity has finally come.

I will study with you for two months, so please don’t think I’m annoying.”

Not to mention, it's hard not to like this attitude. Just like what Fei Jinpeng introduced, this is a person who is comfortable for anyone to get along with. Wu Xiaofu can see that Dou Zhiming is not just talking for show. This person is definitely someone who truly likes surgery and this job. It should be a pleasure to cooperate with him in the future.

"Let's communicate together. I also need to learn from your experience. Let's make progress together."

"Haha, good, let's make progress together. Doctor Wu, Doctor Fan, Chief Liu, please take a seat. I'll introduce you to my colleagues in the department."

Wu Xiaofu and the other two didn't sit down, they just walked inside.

Except for Dou Zhiming, the remaining ten doctors also had burning eyes at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Xiaofu, and they all felt like they were seeing their idol. To be honest, although Wu Xiaofu is young now, for some grassroots doctors and medical students, Wu Xiaofu is definitely a great expert and professor, and he is the goal for many young doctors.

"Doctor Wu, Doctor Fan, this is Gong Liqun, deputy director of the department, associate chief physician, a top technician the hospital just recruited from Huai'an Second Hospital."

"Hello, Doctor Wu. Hello, Doctor Fan."

It turned out that this was the talent that the county hospital had recruited from Huai'an. He looked to be about 40 years old, very capable, and wore glasses. He was very excited when facing Wu Xiaofu. Gong Liqun was indeed very excited. He came here just for Wu Xiaofu.

Gong Liqun could see that Jinhu County was obviously going to do something big this time, and future development would definitely be a major trend. It was not a loss for him to come here. Moreover, with Wu Xiaofu here, he could learn techniques from Wu Xiaofu and maybe even perform some surgeries that he would never have encountered in his lifetime.

These were the reasons why he came here. Now that he saw Wu Xiaofu, he felt relieved. Moreover, the county hospital did not treat him unfairly. Not to mention other treatments, he was a deputy chief physician, but now he was given the treatment of deputy director of the department. When Dou Zhiming retired, he would definitely be the director of the department. This was impossible in the Second Municipal Hospital.

"Hello, Doctor Gong."

"This is the attending physician Qu Tianqi, a graduate student of Nandu Medical University. He used to work at Nandu. This time, he knew that Jinhu was going to develop the medical and health industry, so he came back to help."

Ah!
real or fake!

Looking at the man in front of him, he looks to be in his early thirties, one or two years younger than Fan Xin. He is also a graduate student of Nandu Medical University. Even in Nandu, he must have a bright future. He is actually willing to take the initiative to contribute to the medical and health care of Jinhu.

If this is true, then even Wu Xiaofu would have to admire this person.

Qu Tianqi was a little excited, and stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Xiaofu, "Doctor Wu, to be honest, I'm not as noble as the director said. My father is the old director of Jinhu County Hospital. He knew that the county magistrate was interested in upgrading the county hospital and introducing talents from various parties, so he wanted me to come back.

I originally refused, but when I heard that you were coming, I couldn't help it. I think it's worth it to be able to follow you, even if it's just for two months. Don't worry, now that I'm back, I will work hard in the future and will definitely not leave.

I just want to learn some techniques from you."

Wow, this guy is his little fan. I have to say, Wu Xiaofu quite enjoys it.

However, Wu Xiaofu was also very happy. This was definitely a helper and an honest one. If he was trained well, Wu Xiaofu would be able to leave a technical expert for Jinhu County Hospital in two months.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely learn it well."

"Doctor Wu, this is..."

The introduction continued. There were eight people left. One was a former general surgeon, an attending physician in his thirties, and three were newly recruited graduate students who all graduated last year. Although their universities were not double first-class, their foundation was definitely good.

There are four more. Two are residents in the original department, undergraduates, and are all around 30 years old. Two are undergraduates who joined the department only last year and have not yet obtained their certificates.

This is the foundation of the hepatobiliary surgery department of Jinhu County Hospital.

After a cursory look, Wu Xiaofu was satisfied. The tiered configuration was very reasonable, and the development prospects were good. With this framework, as long as they don't mess around and develop well in the future, even if they don't become the top hepatobiliary surgeons, they should have no problem dealing with most hepatobiliary diseases.

"Finally, I would like to introduce our head nurse Huo Suhua. If you have any questions later, you can talk to the head nurse. She is our housekeeper."

"Hello, Doctor Wu."

"Then I will call you Sister Huo. I will ask for your help in the future."

Then the nurses were called in. Because the department had expanded, a group of nurses were newly recruited. Now there are fifteen nurses in the hepatobiliary surgery department, many of them are young girls.

"Come, let us welcome Dr. Wu and Dr. Fan."

clap clap clap!
The integration process was still very pleasant. Wu Xiaofu did not waste too much of their time and directly asked them to have a morning meeting.

Morning meeting is the best opportunity to get to know a department. Just now you got to know the doctors and nurses, and next you will get to know the patients.

The nurse on duty yesterday began to hand over her shift.

There are 27 patients in the hospital, most of whom are waiting for surgery. Fei Jinpeng was not bragging yesterday, there are really patients with liver cancer, gallbladder cancer and pancreatic cancer. Wu Xiaofu also nodded.

It looks like some major surgeries will be possible in the near future.

There was a pile of medical records on the table. Although they are all electronic medical records now, many hospitals still haven't given up paper medical records. Hospitalization records must be printed out, and examination sheets and the like must also be posted. Wu Xiaofu looked at these medical records as he handed over his shift and had a general impression of them.

"Doctor Wu, shall we go do the ward rounds then?"

"Okay, let's go do the ward rounds then."

The patients all knew at this time that Wu Xiaofu was coming today. They might not know as much about Wu Xiaofu as the doctors did, but now the media is open. With just a quick check, they would know how good Wu Xiaofu's skills are.

They came here originally for Wu Xiaofu, and they all moved in. When they saw Wu Xiaofu, they felt relieved. To be honest, they were also afraid of being cheated by the hospital.

Intrahepatic bile duct stones cause blockage and must be resolved.

"For this operation, the preoperative examination is almost done. Let's arrange it tomorrow. Fan Xin will do it. Let's arrange the laparoscopy. Hmm, who of you will go with Fan Xin?"

Patient No. 9.0 has bile duct stones. Wu Xiaofu in the First Affiliated Hospital does not perform this operation. Fan Xin is very skilled in this and can guide other doctors. It's not that Dou Zhiming and others can't do it, but in terms of the technology for bile duct stones, the First Affiliated Hospital's surgical procedures may have been improved to version . The new technology needs to be passed on and standards set, and then we will follow this in the future.

"I'll go with Teacher Fan."

It was the attending physician Jin Peng, who had been working at Jinhu County Hospital for six or seven years. Wu Xiaofu nodded. It was a perfect match. This patient was originally Jin Peng's.

Looking at each patient, they had basically completed the preoperative examination, so they were ready to arrange the surgery once Wu Xiaofu arrived.

"The four liver cancer patients are all scheduled for tomorrow, and the one with pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer is also scheduled. I took a look and found that they are all suitable for surgery. I would like to thank Director Dou, Doctor Gong and Doctor Tian for their help. Each of them will perform two operations with me.

As for other patients, they will be arranged to be treated in the next two days. If there is a need for me to follow up, please let me know when the time comes. Then I will be arranged to have outpatient clinics on Wednesday (the day after tomorrow) and Friday, both in the morning.”

Six stations, do it together!

Dou Zhiming and others were all confused. Is this possible?
To be honest, they used to perform four surgeries a day at most, even cholecystectomies. But Wu Xiaofu had to perform six in a row, and they were all major surgeries, radical cancer surgeries.

This will take until late at night, and I won’t be able to finish it even then.

They were fine. Wu Xiaofu said that if they were responsible for two surgeries, they would definitely be able to handle it. But could Wu Xiaofu handle the surgeries day after day? Wasn't it a bit too hasty?

"Doctor Wu, it's not that urgent. How about doing it over two days?"

Looking at Dou Zhiming's expression, Wu Xiaofu knew what he was thinking. However, before Wu Xiaofu could say anything, Fan Xin had already spoken.

"Director Dou, don't worry. This is how Dr. Wu performed surgeries when he was at the First Affiliated Hospital. Two liver transplants and four liver cancer resections were basically completed before 6 p.m. However, we have to keep up with the coordination. If the operating room is not efficient during the operation, we can prepare two operating rooms."

After hearing Fan Xin's words, Dou Zhiming and others finally understood that this was Wu Xiaofu's normal speed. However, it was too scary.

Dou Zhiming looked at Wu Xiaofu with some excitement. They really made a profit this time. They must have learned some magical skills. Since Fan Xin said so, Dou Zhiming naturally would not say anything more.

"Don't worry, I will make sure to arrange the connection. I will have someone issue a number at the outpatient clinic and spread the news."

For a moment, the whole department was full of enthusiasm.

As long as the other doctors were not on duty, they decided to perform surgery with Wu Xiaofu on the same day. After all, this opportunity was rare, and they also wanted to see how Wu Xiaofu could complete so many surgeries before six o'clock.

In fact, it’s not that Wu Xiaofu is in a hurry, but that Wu Xiaofu is responsible for three departments.

In addition to hepatobiliary surgery, breast and thyroid surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery, Wu Xiaofu also had to look after it. After leaving the hepatobiliary surgery department, Wu Xiaofu went straight to the breast and thyroid surgery department and gastrointestinal surgery department. At this time, both departments were still waiting for Wu Xiaofu.

The same introduction, handover, and ward rounds.

There were also many seriously ill patients in the thyroid and breast surgery department and the gastrointestinal surgery department, and Wu Xiaofu arranged them one by one.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery performed two radical thyroid cancer resections, and on Thursday morning, two radical gastric cancer resections and one radical rectal cancer resection were performed.

Two radical breast cancer surgeries on Thursday afternoon.

……

Although he had just arrived, Wu Xiaofu was not polite to him at all and immediately filled up his schedule.

After Fei Jinpeng received the news, he couldn't help but be shocked for several seconds. This is a surgery maniac. Any hospital that has such a doctor will make a fortune. He is simply a money-making machine.

If he opened a private hospital and hired seven or eight doctors like Wu Xiaofu, his name might be on the Forbes rich list next year.

Bah, what is he thinking about? Being rich is not what he wants. The health of the people of Jinhu is his top priority.

Wu Xiaofu had no idea what Fei Jinpeng was thinking.

At ten o'clock, Wu Xiaofu and others came to the conference room.

Fei Jinpeng held a grand welcome ceremony for Wu Xiaofu and his colleagues. The hospital's leading leaders and most of the employees attended the ceremony. Wu Xiaofu was even asked to go on stage and give a speech. Wu Xiaofu did not refuse and spoke symbolically for a few minutes before the ceremony ended.

However, everyone was also jealous. It had been nearly a month, and the movements of Jinhu County Hospital had been seen most clearly by the hospital staff. There were also rumors outside that the county was going to upgrade Jinhu County Hospital to a Class III hospital.

A tertiary hospital.

One is two, the other is three, there is a huge difference.

For these employees, the most obvious thing is the treatment and status. For the entire hospital, these are all great things. They will definitely support it strongly and are very welcoming to the arrival of Wu Xiaofu and others.

This might be the first time in all these years that they were so willing to waste time holding a meeting.

Moreover, Dr. Wu was very authentic and did not waste too much of their time with long speeches.

Some young girls were also jealous of Wu Xiaofu. After all, with Wu Xiaofu's ability and status, he would definitely be a rich husband in the future. Unfortunately, it was said that he already had a girlfriend, so even if they wanted to make a move, it was too late.

The head nurses of each department also expressed regret. They were used to using matchmaking to retain talent, but when they really met talented people, they were unable to keep them.

In the afternoon, Wu Xiaofu was not idle either. He examined the surgical patients again and gave a class to the doctors in the department, specifically to popularize surgical matters and new technologies. The doctors were very positive about this matter.

After all, doctors make a living by their skills. Only with strong skills can they go further and have a better future. Most of them are young people. Even Dou Zhiming has no intention of lying down, let alone them.

Wu Xiaofu also went to the operating room. The surgery would be performed tomorrow, so Wu Xiaofu had to make sure that all the surgical instruments and so on were ready. The instruments were obviously not as advanced as those in the First Affiliated Hospital and could only be considered as obsolete items. However, they were barely enough. After all, the First Affiliated Hospital had financial resources that were not comparable to those in Jinhu County Hospital.

on Tuesday.

After the morning meeting, Wu Xiaofu went straight into the operating room.

The first one was a pancreatic cancer patient. This patient couldn't wait any longer and his physical condition wasn't very good, so the surgery had to be completed as soon as possible.

The operation started on time at 8:30, and the assistant was Dou Zhiming.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy. To be honest, although Dou Zhiming is a chief physician, he has never performed this type of operation in his life. He has served as an assistant a few times, but only during further training.

Now in Jinhu County Hospital, it is my first time to serve as an assistant and perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Patients with pancreatic cancer basically do not seek help from experts, because once they are diagnosed they have to go to top hospitals like the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. After all, this disease is too aggressive, it is the Mount Everest of surgical operations.

Is Mount Everest easy to climb?

Of course it is not easy to climb. You know who among the Chinese doesn't know about Mount Everest? No, there are few people in the world who don't know about Mount Everest, but there are only a few who can climb Mount Everest. Similarly, there are many doctors, but there are only a handful of them who can perform this surgery to the top level.

Wu Xiaofu is one of them. The video of Wu Xiaofu's national surgery competition can still be found on the Internet. Although the video is not clear, they also know that the Mount Everest in the eyes of others is difficult to climb, but the person in front of them may be able to fly up.

This is a person who can stand on the top of the mountain at will.

In addition to Dou Zhiming, Gong Liqun and others also followed and prepared to watch the operation. This kind of opportunity for intuitive learning is not available to everyone, and no one would be willing to miss it.

The people from the hospital's publicity department were already in place at this time, and the machines were still there.

Fei Jinpeng has instructed that after the operation, the manuscript must be produced and released as soon as possible. He wants to fire the first shot in the upgrade of Jinhu County Hospital. This is also Wu Mingjie's arrangement. A small county hospital can already complete laparoscopic radical resection of pancreatic cancer. Who says that in a small place, no one can witness the top of the world!
